Tesla is launching cheaper versions of its major cars like the Model Y and Model 3, reportedly from the middle of this year. They'll take some of the more luxury elements out of the vehicles, that aren't needed for everyday driving, like the glass roof, 9 speakers instead of 15, cloth instead of ventilated leather seats etc. The brilliant drive train is the same, so mostly the changes are cosmetic. They may use a smaller battery (batteries are the most expensive part of an EV), but use smaller wheels to retain most of the range. It's a great idea, you're getting the essence of the car without the luxury add-ons. You may have noticed the US hasn't turned into a modern Nazi State, and that the hysterical outrage and burning cars and vandalism have quietened down too, as childish protest politics always does. Tesla make brilliant cars, highly recommended.
